Based on height and weight, we would normally recommend a 31 inch length of the 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -5 Baseball Bat (SL15X15).

I am a contact hitter with lots of bat speed. I am 5'2" and 106 pounds and I want to move up to a drop -5. What would be a better option for me, the Easton XL1 or Marucci Cat 6?

The 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -5 Baseball Bat (SL15X15) is going to be an end-loaded bat whereas the Marucci Cat 6 is going to be a balanced bat. If you think you have the strength to keep your bat speeds up with an end-loaded bat I would say go for it. If you are concerned about the additional weight of the drop -5 reducing your bat speeds then I would say stick with the Cat 6.

My son is 12, 5'3", and 105 lbs. He is being brought up to 14U. The rules state the bat has to be -5 or less. Any suggestions so he can at least get the bat around?

At his age and size you will want a bat that is very balanced with a light feeling swing weight. The 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -5 Baseball Bat (SL15X15) will provide more of a barrel heavy feel. He may not need this yet. Some other models with very balanced and light swing weights will be the DeMarini Vexxum, Rawlings VELO, Marucci CAT 6, and Louisville Slugger Omaha Senior League bats.
